43% huh? I'll have to try that.. I wish I could make my own meals!! My mom would get way too offended if I tried to do that.. Do you count everything as carbs like MFP does? Or do you make exceptions for fruits and veggies?? I think for the next 2 weeks I will try to do some sort of workout 5-6 days of the week. Wednesdays…

Oh no!! I didn't read that :( :( That is so sad....

Amy - I love your costume!!! It came out so good!!! That article sounds interesting, I wonder if it is true or not... I feel like it's one of those things that might work for some people and not for others, who knows though!! I am so with you with the 2 week challenge, this weekend was horrible, and I am paying for it big…

bump!

Wow, can't believe we're already on part 2!! I have my costume all set, just need to find some fishnets, I want to get the big ones :) Amy - have you tried looking for the sheer sleeves you can wear to look like tattoos?? I forget where or when I saw them, but I did see them at some point!!

If you go to RI I would suggest going to Newport :) You can go to some of the old mansions that are BEAUTIFUL! and depending on when you go, they might be decorated for the holidays :) They also have the cliff walk which is also very gorgeous :)

My parents always told me that the car wouldn't work without the seat belts buckled! We definitely believed her.. if she heard us unclick she would pull over and ask us if we were unbuckled because the car stopped :laugh: Now whenever I babysit I tell the kids that and they're amazed! I love it :smile:

bump! This looks like a meal to make for the bf :) Thanks!!

Jen - I'm sure after another day or 2 you'll be back to your fabulous self :) What surgery are you getting???? You'll get through all of those days, just keep away from the candy!!! My bf's mom brought him FOUR bags this weekend, so my lunch on Saturday was all candy... ooops!!! Needless to say I hid those bags haha. I…

I'd be interested to learn about this too! I've always wanted to try cooking with wine, but I don't know any good recipes to try :( What are you making?

Glad you're back Kate!! Amy - Did you remember to take your measurements or take pictures?? I hope so!! And as long as you like what you see in the mirror, the number on the scale doesn't matter!! Would you consider it to be calorie cycling if its a gradual up and down throughout the week? I usually am very high on…

Ahh! I want to log in today's weight SO BAD!! I met my goal, but my weigh in day isn't until Saturday.. Hopefully Saturday's weight will still be the same! I'm shocked at the number, especially since its TOM. So happy I could burst, but I still have to wait until Saturday... ahh!

bumping this back up :)

Amy - that seems like a good time to start the Jamie Eason plan, that way you get to enjoy Thanksgiving.. just make sure it won't interfere too much with the holidays!! The no carbs after 7 also sounds like a good challenge.. or maybe you can do only veggies after 7 or no junk after 7? I'm not sure what her plan is, so…

bump!

yum!! bump for this!! I bet baking them would make a great appetizer too!!

If I can get there before 6 I can try to go to a healthy place with low cal options, but it closes at 6, and lately with traffic I've been getting there around 6:15... The other places around there are: Ronzio Pizza & Subs Cruisers (No menu available) NK House of Pizza (no menu available) Domino's Village Cafe (no menu,…

I will try to do that next week, but unfortunately I didn't think about it until this morning (I forgot what day it was because of the holiday) and I have class tonight :-/

I wish I could cook something of my own now, but I go straight from work to my class (and sit through traffic the whole way, yuck!) so that's why I'm trying to pick something up over by class :)

I wonder if you'll get different results with 30 DS the second time around, I'll be interested to hear about that!! I think that sounds like a good plan though! I'm sure switching it around will make a difference! I do more work outs at the "gym" (the Jazzercise place) I usually can't find the motivation or the approval…

Have fun in Chicago Chuisle!! I was able to avoid food at Oktoberfest this weekend, but I did do a bit of drinking! My calories were not quite in check, and I didn't even log! I'm still trying to keep up with the planks, but sometimes I do forget... I'll keep trying though!! I'm not sure what my goals should be right now..…

Hmm, I don't think I have one... any suggestions??

Oops, I've been MIA for the week! Amy - if I ever eat after I hit complete I make myself go back on and add to the entry, that way I don't let myself get away with it! Reese - That's awesome that you can talk with your sister!! My sister is against exercise pretty much and eats a big bowl of penne pasta with ragu…

Oh nooo :( Feel better Amy!!

I usually have steamed veggies for dinner. I put them on a potato or mix with some pasta or just have them as a side! I like that you can add whatever sauce you want to them, and as long as you don't over-steam them, they taste like they are sauteed. I somethimes put herbs in while steaming them and they taste fantastic!…

Welcome back amy!! I'm glad you had fun in Spain :smile: I would do lots of any exercise, maybe do some running and then either heavy lifting or body weight moves like push ups or planks? I would definitely do push ups and planks right before you take the pictures because that makes you hold your core tighter (yes, I read…

Thanks so much for your advice everyone! I really appreciate it :) I'll show these to my mom when she gets home tonight. You all are the best :)

I'm 5'5.5 and 108, I'm eating around 1200 plus exercise calories for now! Feel free to add me if you want :)

Aw, first double post! Sorry!

My first name is Shannon :) I like your goals this week!! You can do it, even if you can't finish it that night, do it in the morning!! I am LOVING having the scale!! I thought I had gained a bunch, but I'm still down at 108! I can't even tell you how good that made me feel :happy: Forgot my planks yesterday, so I'm going…
